Elizabeth Development Company Employment & Training Program

Elizabeth Development Company Employment & Training Program EDC On-the-Job-Training program provides supportive services, pre-job training and on-the-job training opportunities for qualified Union County residents.

The Elizabeth Development Company Employment & Training program helps employers find qualified unemployed residents to fill jobs. EDC helps employers establish or expand their on-the-job-training (OJT) program, find residents to fill those positions and navigate the process for employers to receive tax incentives, reimbursements, or other qualifying benefits for establishing an OJT program. Doing

business in the City of Elizabeth has never been easier or more successful, thanks in large part to the Elizabeth Development Company (EDC). The EDC was established in 1977 to serve Elizabeth’s economic development needs. The EDC is a public, non-profit economic development corporation with an independent Board of Trustees. The EDC has won state and national acclaim for both its highly successful Urban Enterprise Zone and its innovative community development initiatives in the City’s Elizabethport neighborhood. Working in cooperation with Elizabeth’s Mayor Chris Bollwage, the Elizabeth Development Company and its Urban Enterprise Zone program are the catalysts behind the City’s economic rebirth. Since its inception, the EDC has helped generate more than $2 billion in new economic investments in Elizabeth that have helped put thousands of area residents to work. The EDC has been helping businesses succeed for more than 35 years by connecting them with the financing and development tools needed to make projects move quickly and efficiently from proposal to reality. The EDC and its staff are well-equipped to support businesses – both large and small – with virtually all of their essential needs, including: site location, financial assistance, tax relief incentives, access to quality job training, employment placement services, and much more. When it comes to building strong, viable businesses in Elizabeth, the EDC serves as the complete “one-stop shop.” Most recently the EDC has taken a more hands-on role in redeveloping the City. Projects where the EDC is the lead or co-developer range from the renovation of a landmark downtown commercial building to the first LEED gold certified mixed-use initiative in Elizabethport.
